Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick sits down with FOX 26 Political Reporter Greg Groogan to discuss the $18 Billion Property Tax bill and Border Security.Lt. Governor Dan Patrick doubled down on his backing of a permanent 60 percent increase in the homestead exemption.
On the issue of billions of state dollars for bolstering border security, Patrick defended both the investment and the controversial methods, which critics have called "harsh" and "inhumane.""They know where we have the concertina wire and buoys we mean business and I hope we are able to put those everywhere along the Rio Grande. You have to prevent people from coming in. We are saving lives by putting up those barriers," said Patrick.
"Maybe you don't feel that school fits your child. Maybe your child is being bullied, whatever reason, you have a right to send that child where you want and it doesn't take any money away from education," said Patrick.
